Students who have not completed the IST courses may be admitted to pre-major status. Students without math are not admissible. Penn State requires three credits of International Cultures (IL) and three credits of United States Cultures (US). The two courses that fulfill the IL and US requirements can also be used to fulfill General Education Arts, Humanities or Social Science requirements. Penn State requires two units in a single world language other than English. A student may be admitted with fewer than two units in a world language other than English, but must correct this deficiency by the time s/he earns 60 credits or graduates from Penn State, whichever comes first. This deficiency may be corrected by passing one three- or four-credit college level world language course or by demonstrating proficiency equivalent to two units of high school world language study.
